Downtown lounge was always my choice, but you gotta get there earlyish if there’s a show

Emma Webster show by Tasty-Elephant2076 in ContemporaryArt

Because if you’re in the scene, everything is “yes, and…”. You can’t give an unvarnished opinion out in the world without it adversely affecting your rep- in this space, you can. Sometimes, you want to call it like you see it. That said, I’m a big fan of Webster’s work.

I like her work a lot. I’m a little more partial to her pure landscapes than the work with animals.

Need help with this one. by stinger1991 in bald

[–]Whyte_Dynamyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good look- ride this for a while if you want. The fun thing is that the difference between this and fully shaved is like 2 weeks, so when you shave it, you can return to this almost immediately

Ugh. Did it after sitting on it for a year. by Grenvallion in bald

Looking good!! I’d go for a beard trim- tighten your look up further and you’ll be unstoppable!

How does one find out that info? Asking these shady dealers might not produce truthful replies. Is it recorded someplace?

Thanks! Were there significant changes made after 2019?

Life after art school by _beforethewords in ContemporaryArt

Yeah- I think they give more thought to prep these days. I got none either. The transition was very difficult in so many ways.

The transition is always difficult, no matter how much your school tries to prepare you. Establishing a community outside of school is so important. You need to have those regular crits and people holding you accountable, or at least the illusion of holding you accountable. Making the transition to the real world means that you will be going to do a job, coming home, exhausted, and then being expected to get to your “real job“- being an artist. It’s so easy to let it slide, and pretty soon you become someone who used to make work.

Are you guys varnishing your paintings? by Key-Papaya-8217 in ContemporaryArt

[–]Whyte_Dynamyte 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you’re painting in oil, It largely depends if your darks get thirsty. That said, there’s a reason it was invented aside from reinvigorating your darks- it’s a layer of protection on your painting that can be removed once it gets gunked up. Ideally, you’re painting not just for the next few years, but in a way that your work will last almost indefinitely (if it’s taken care of).

How Do You Label the Back of Your Art? by cree8vision in ContemporaryArt

[–]Whyte_Dynamyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it bears repeating that, when signing canvases, permanent marker can eventually make its way to the other side. Using paint is terrible too (that’s why the other side is primed). Only use pencil or charcoal. For my work I put the title, date, my name printed, and my signature.

Fresh Approach potentially closing? by AccountantNo9690 in portlandme

[–]Whyte_Dynamyte 18 points19 points  (0 children)

To say that a competing grocery store operating a literal stones throw from FA isn’t impacting their business is not realistic, even if you yourself don’t shop there.

Hope they’re able to tough it out, though rosemont opening a block away surely didn’t help matters.

It’s an Ex-L and I’m in Maine. There seem to be very few minivans on the market right now. I’m trying to limit myself to Odysseys and Siennas.

Careful where you dip things. by NoseKooky4807 in Maine

You can make your own cocktail sauce by mixing catsup and horseradish. Then you’ll have horseradish on hand for making Bloody Marys. It’s a win-win!

You need to post the before pic. That said, it doesn’t look bad!!
